During a recent guest appearance on CBC's Dragon's Den, Simu Liu criticized the bubble tea brand Bobba for cultural appropriation, marking a significant moment in discussions of representation.
Liu highlighted his concerns about Bobba's business model, which he felt disrespected Asian culture, saying he can't support a product that profits from something so dear to his heritage.
After the episode aired, fellow investor Manjit Minhas reacted to Liu's criticisms by suggesting that not everything needs to remain traditional, highlighting a clash of perspectives on cultural reinterpretation.
Liu's venture capital fund was established to uplift minority entrepreneurs, emphasizing his commitment to support businesses that honor cultural authenticity rather than exploiting it.
